Overview

Oslovian's will think you're a local, as you wander through highlights to hidden gems with your in-the-know host, like darting past the crowded palace to a treasure trove of miniature glass bottles and skipping Gustav Vigeland's park. Stroll away from the famous Karl Johans street to tucked away tiny nook Torggata, cramped with cozy cafés and trendy stores. On the other side of a Viking-like fortress, discover a too-cool-for-school food truck court with a dash of sustainability, nestled on the edge of the Oslo fjord. Nearby nabolag Tøyen may be famous for the Munch Museum, but underneath its suburban facade lies a bursting street art scene. Our handpicked hosts are culinary connoisseurs and history buffs, bakers and bankers, students and seniors. Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

Meeting points

Your host will meet you by the tiger in front of Oslo Central Station. After booking, you can adjust your meeting point to fit your preferences with the help of our Experience Planners

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Frogner Park (Pass By)

    Tick off your first bucket list item in green dream Frogner Park, a stage for over 200 sculptures by Norwegian treasure Gustav Vigeland, before meandering along the pansy-lined Karl Johan main street in the heart of the city, strewn with cozy cafés and charming buildings, overlooked by the stucco-clad Royal Palace

  • The Mini Bottle Gallery (Pass By)

    Who needs a guidebook when you have a street-smart local guiding you away from the tourist crowds to hidden gems of the capital, like the weird but wonderful Mini Bottle Gallery?

  • The Royal Palace (Pass By)

    Waste no time in a cozy capital teeming with must-see landmarks, like a larger-than-life sculpture park, or the Neoclassical Royal Palace in the city center (or plan to visit here at 13:30 to see the changing of the guard).

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Pass an array of venues to the rockers on your way to tiny street Torggatta in the heart of the city, lined with pastel-colored buildings and teeming with pedestrians and cyclists heading to their favorite cafés — your host knows just the spot to try later.

  • Akershus Castle and Fortress (Akershus Slott og Festning) (Pass By)

    Pass by the medieval Akershus Fortress as you make your way to the port for a look at trendy foodie haven Vippa Oslo, perched on the edge of the lapping fjord

  • Nobel Peace Center (Pass By)

    Head harbor-side to see ferries depart for the scenic Oslo Fjord, snap a pic outside the inspirational Nobel Peace Center, and drop a GPS pin at a popular boat bar before strolling along the Aker Brygge Promenade dotted with angelic sculptures

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Next, dart away to urban burro Tøyen, and end off your experience where art doesn't only hang in galleries, but is plastered on everything from streets and buildings to nooks in hidden alleyways.

Great intro to Oslo

Published on Feb, 2025

Absolutely lovely tour. Our guide Sheenam was great. Friendly, good English, and very knowledgeable. Would recommend for any 1st travelers to Oslo.

Whistle stop Tour of Oslo

Published on Feb, 2025

Sheenam was a great guide. Her communication was fantastic and she gave us an informative and interesting tour of Oslo. As someone who moved to the City a few years ago, she has clearly done her homework and knows the history and culture of Norway and refers to it as home. We had to rush everything along at the end due to flight times but she was very understanding and accommodating.

One of the best tours

Published on Jan, 2025

Sheena was amazing, very knowledgeable, kind and and cultural. We went to all parts of Oslo which you normally wouldn't know to go. Despite the weather being cold and snowy, she was able to cover a large portion of the city. We had a nice coffee break in the middle of the tour. I would certainly highly recommend her

Such a fabulous guided tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Marianne is a fabulous guide. She tailors the tour around your needs and is fascinating to talk to. Cannot recommend more highly.

Amazing Tour with Expert Tour Guide - Sheenam

Published on Sep, 2024

I had an incredible experience with Sheenam as my tour guide during a private and personalized walking tour. From the moment I booked, the process felt very personal—within 24 hours, they reached out to learn about my interests and personality to ensure a perfect match. They couldn't have picked a better guide than Sheenam! Sheenam was not only knowledgeable but also truly passionate about the city. During our two-hour walking tour, she expertly guided me through both the popular highlights and the hidden gems that most tourists miss. Her deep understanding of the city’s architecture and history made the experience even more enriching. Every corner we turned, she had a fascinating story to share, making the tour not only informative but also engaging and fun. I highly recommend Sheenam for anyone looking for a well-rounded, personalized, and immersive experience. She truly exceeded my expectations!
